-Objective:

To score 15 points before the other teams.

• One Volleyball

• A Four-Way Net

-Equipment Link:

• Divide a regular volleyball court into 4 courts. Regular net divides court into 2. Put up 2 other nets to divide the 2 courts in half.

• Divide players into 4 teams of 6 players. Explain the rules. Each team goes to 1 of the 4 courts. Decide which team will serve first with a coin toss.

• There are several rules affecting the hitting of a ball.

• Each side is permitted a maximum of 3 hits per side.

• 1 player cannot hit it twice before another player contacts the ball. The ball must be struck and not pushed or thrown.

• A player may not contact the net when playing the ball (attacking or blocking).

• Failure to execute hits and blocks legally will result in an other team getting the ball for service and the offending team gaining 1 point.

• Upon one team's lose of service rotate the service through the four courts.

• Safety Considerations

  • Pad all the posts so players do not hurt themselves should they run into a post.

• Teaching Tips

  • To make it easier for younger or less skilled players use a beach ball that is very light and stays afloat easier and longer.
